The reason I asked the question is because I was looking at the map that Ms Slevin kindly provided, which one can get online as well, and one can see the yellow coloured area is the frontier licence and the blue area corresponds to the area of exploration. I am not sure about the technical terms. If I am correct, it is effectively a rim around the continental shelf. It is quite a distance away. Is it accurate to say it is approximately between approximately 100 miles and 200 miles or more in terms of how far out they are?
